the 210e allows fully arbitrary but basically non-dynamic mixing of
mabny sources and destinations (8x5)

the 256e can do dynamic (cv-controlled) scaling, inversion, and fades
between (two) cv sources.

pretty different...

the 256e seems kindof useless here because you have very few cv
sources. i guess i would go with a 291e, which does lots of stuff.

i don't have any videos, but i've used it for all kinds of stuff. with
a computer, it becomes simply a means to produce arbitrary
externally-controlled pulses and cvs (limited by MIDI resolution). i
used it as the brains for a pretty gnarly abstract 4panel feedback
patch at the last NAMM...
